Gene set enrichment analysis. The DEG datasets were compared using GSEA incorporating cell type signatures for brain and infiltrating cell populations. (A) The human tumors showed an astrocytic predominance, whereas the three non-human species, (B) Canine, (C) Mouse, and (D) Rat, showed a mixed contribution of astrocytic and oligodendrocytic elements. Consistent with the expansion of glial components and displacement of neuronal components in gliomas, there was a significant decrease in the enrichment of the neuronal cell signature in tumors from all four species. Also, each species demonstrated evidence of activated cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CD8+) and glioma-infiltrating macrophages and microglia (GIM/Ms). Only the human and rat tumors showed enrichment of the M2 macrophage signature. Black bars = FDR value < 25%; White bars = FDR ≥ 25%.
